The Heart To Heart Scholarship Fund is a new fund opened this year at the Catholic Foundation of Northeast Kansas. The Heart To Heart Scholarship Fund exists to financially assist, young women and men in the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas as they respond to God's call to pursue the priesthood or religious life. Recognizing that it is the shared responsibility of the whole body of Christ to support the formation of future religious and priests of the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, the Heart To Heart Scholarship Fund has been established to assist in facilitating this support.
